The Merry Point Ferry is currently out of service through early November 2021 to allow the vessel to be painted in drydock. The vessel is painted every five years as part of its routine maintenance and upkeep.

The Merry Point Ferry service began operation in 1847.

This ferry has one operator. It ceases operation for 30 minutes at midday for the operator lunch break.

Precise times may vary, depending on demand for ferry service.

Ferry service may also be affected by wind, weather and tides.

Signs leading to the ferry entrance communicate its operational status.

Service may also be briefly halted so the ferry operator can change information posted on these signs.

This 2 car ferry crosses the Western Branch of the Corrotoman River.
